A further reception room and separate snug provide additional living areas ideally suited to everyday family life, quieter evenings or a dedicated home office.
To the rear, the spacious kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home. Fitted with traditional cabinetry, granite worktops, a breakfast bar and an Aga, it enjoys attractive views across the garden whilst connecting naturally to a generous pantry, separate utility room and useful cellar storage.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Arranged across the first and second floors, this impressive seven-bedroom house offers wonderfully flexible family accommodation, making it equally suited to growing families, multi-generational living, guest accommodation or those requiring multiple home working spaces. The principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect with elevated views across the surrounding rooftops and mature trees and benefits from an en suite featuring a freestanding roll-top bath, separate shower and twin vanity basins. The remaining bedrooms are all generous doubles filled with natural light, whilst the second floor offers particularly versatile accommodation, ideal as additional bedrooms, guest suites, hobby rooms, children's playrooms or further home office space. Four bathrooms comfortably serve the accommodation, with useful eaves storage completing the upper floors.
